Answer Submission Form for The Recess Room

One fateful day three decades ago, five boys picked up a game of handball during school recess on a Fountain Valley playground. They grew up together, became life-long friends and pursued their own ambitions. But they shared a deep love for their hometown and dreamed of one day opening a restaurant together where they could share good food, good drinks and reminisce about good times. The Recess Room is their childhood dream come to life.

Tonight the Yang Gang disbanded, but the Recess Room trivia horde doubled in size!

Most everyone was knowledgeable of their Stephen King films, Japanese-themed tidbits, and all things Jon Favreau. But heaven help you if you doubled down on Round 5 -- Shameless may have been filmed in Chicago, but how soon we all forgot The L Word's connection to Chicago is their rapid-transit system. This faux pas allowed Car Ram Rod to surprisingly sneak into second place by correctly doubling down on Great Plains states (being from the midwest has SOME advantages, I guess!). That also meant Sara & Sean's Excellent Adventure had no chance of placing, but they still stuck around for the end results and had loads of fun. Newcomers Tots, Thots, & Shots (BEST TEAM NAME EVER) knew they'd have to knuckle down pretty hard if they had a chance against the heckling Highway Stars, but you'd best believe they didn't go down without a fight.

Thirsty Pretzels took a gamble on their Great Plains, not realizing that not doubling down would have meant beating (or at least tying with) Car Ram Rod and taking second place right out from underneath them. Alas, they went home salty -- though winning a free appetizer for being the first team to figure out Round 4 made it better. And we were happy to see Ava's Minions take third, despite the Aussie on the team not knowing that the hell a "great plain" is!

And Highway Stars, with a strong start doubling down on general knowledge, and Round 3 being just too Japan-easy, took home the $40 first place prize, and all the bragging rights. I should've gotten a nice big arigato! for giving them the right questions tonight!
